… celebs auction film trophies
Anurag Kashyap, writer-lyricist Varun Grover and stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra have invited fans to bid for their film trophies to raise funds for kits to test coronavirus patients. Funds raised through the campaign will be transferred directly from Milaap Foundation to Mylab Discovery Solutions, which will help Burda Media India secure the COVID-19 testing kits that will be donated to hospitals and labs.
While Kashyap auctioned his ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ Filmfare trophy, Varun Grover had put his TOIFA award for the song ‘Moh Moh Ke’ from Dum Laga Ke Haisha for auction. On the other side, Kunal Kamra has auctioned his YouTube Button, which is a creator award that aims to recognise the most popular channels on the video sharing site. Kunal tweeted, “While each rupee counts, I appreciate the hell out of Comrade @anuragkashyap72 who is giving away his 2013 Gangs of Wasseypur critics award to the highest donor of this charity with my YouTube button… I urge other artistes to help in their own way.”
